Collaborative Hemp Research
What We Do
The Midwest Hemp Database is a collaborative effort with the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Phillip Alberti, Dr. Shelby Ellison), University of Illinois (Dr. D.K. Lee and Dr. Chance Riggins), Michigan State University Extension (Dr. James DeDecker), Purdue University Extension (Marguerite Bolt), Michael Fields Agricultural Institute (Esther Shekinah), Rock River Laboratory Inc., and grower-cooperators across the Midwest. These trials are supported in large part thanks to Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) via Partnership Grants (2021-2025).
The goal is to provide cultivar performance data by working with grower collaborators and depositing data into a public database.
